The Daily Kansas aims to please the University of Kansas, to go forward with the University of Kansas, to go forward by standing for the ideas the faculty offers; to be clean; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems to the best of its ability to serve the best of its ability.
“POTSY” IS HEAD COACH
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1921.
George "Potys" Clark is comin,
back to Kansas. He is returning a
head football coach, the unanimio
choice of the student-faculty athletic
board which hired him. "Potys" was
coach of the freshman team in 1916-17
and won the confidence and esteem of
the whole school body at that time.
This regard has lasted over the four
years of separation, and to the Jay
hawkers he is the man of the hour.
Clark's return gives further impetus to the rapid evolution of the University of Kansas into one of the big schools of the country. Kansas cannot be hampered by an inferior coaching staff in this important period of Stadium-Union building and of the keen Valley competition that is constantly developing.
Clark is a former University of Illinois athlete and was half-back on the 80th Division football team which won the championship of the A. E. F. in 1919. His athletic career is a sterling recommendation of his ability and experience, and his success with the Michigan Aggies team last year has shown his ability as nothing else could do.
With the entire support of the student-body and the faculty, these mentors should turn out a team for Kansas that will recall the all-victorious days of 1908. We are with them to the finish!
Karl Schladenman, present coach of track at the University, was chosen by the board as assistant football coach. His eleven years of experience are a guarantee of his merit in this position.
AMERICA'S PREMIER ATHLETE
Bradley went east yesterday to defend the title he won last year as America's premier athlete and took with him "Sandy" Sandefur, Kansas powerful weight man. They will enter the Penn Relay games which start Friday.
The east will be watching for "the man out of the west" as Bradley was named after last year's victories, and they will see much of him. Sport writers have picked him as one of the favorites and they would not be surprised to see him repeat.
Kansas has great faith in Brua His victories in the Missouri and Illinois meets have shown that he is in good shape and the whole school will have its eyes on Philadelphia watching for the name of the man who won for Kansas the greatest honor ever brought her by a student. The Pentathlon and Olympics have made of him a school idol and everyone knows that he will do his utmost in the next few days to warrant the name.
The first newspaper was published in 1622. The last one will be published the day after the reformers gain entire control of the press.
THE DRIVE'S SPECIAL MENTION
To adequately and impartially distribute thanks for the more note-worthy contributions to the Stadium-Union drive in Kansas City is not possible. No doubt many gifts of $500 represented as much sacrifice and are deserving of as much special thanks, as the largest contribution of $5,000 from Frank Crowell.
But it is not more than natural that certain persons should attract more than ordinary notice from the University for their part in the campaign. For example, to no one is the University more indebted for the success of the drive than to that hard working, capable, and inspired leader, Thornton Cooke. Likewise, his assistants, including J. C. Nichols, and every one of the seven team generals and their captains, deserve special mention.
From the strictly student viewpoint, however, the outstanding thing in the Kansas City campaign was the great work of the Rosdeale Medics. That loyal and organized group of "will-be doctors" subscribed a higher total per person than any other school of the University. The biggest individual student gift came from one of their number. They were a great factor in the life and pep producing part of the campaign.
Then to the "Daily Kansas," embryo training-school newspaper of K. U. the gift of three thousand dollars from the Kansas City Star has a more than ordinary significance.
Ten Kansas City, Kansas, high school seniors gave $50 apiece in expectation of coming down here next year. To say that they already had caught the K. U. spirit would be putting it mildly.
To every working unit, to every contributor, great or small, in the Kansas City drive, the University owes and extends thanks.
THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The school board of a certain Kansas town has again brought up the question of the advisability of teaching the Bible in public schools. Every once in a while, for many years past, the same question has been considered, and each time it has been a subject for hot debate.
The question is a big one, and there are many things that can be said for and against it. But they all resolve themselves into the fundamental proposition of whether, from a religious point of view, anything is really going to be gained.
It is true that the Bible as literature is well worth studying, but that consideration is incidental. The main point is: Will religion be the gainer or the sufferer?
With most people, religion, more than any other subject, is a tender one. Each has his own ideas within
the limits of his confessed creed.
Some go outside of creed. But to all
it is a personal matter. The teacher
will interpret according to his belief,
and each pupil will carry on according
to what he has been taught. What
will be the result? Argument, discord
and ill feeling.
There is a fundamental difference between Protestantism and Catholicism, and if the Bible is taught in the public schools one or the other is bound to suffer.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A Kansas City labor union has demonstrated its loyalty to the spirit of the new industrial courts bill by appealing to Governor Allen before following up a grievance by strike.
According to the secretary of the local union the Pullman Company discharged an employee after an illness of two days in violation of an agreement not to discharge employees without five days' notice where no good reason existed.
FAIRNESS TO BOTH
The conditions throughout the country show that antagonism is especially rife if the incident goes to show it is no more so in Kansas than in other states. In the case of the coach cleaner under consideration there would have been a costly strike over a trivial question which now will receive careful consideration and settlement. The union has acted in a spirit of fair play both to the employer and the public.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Some profs on the Hill are so drp that talking to them is like chewing a blotter.
One of he K. U. lounge lizards was run over by a road roller the other day, and his friends were surprised to see how it broadened his mind.
Modesty is still alive in the University. "Tad" Reid and "Arnle" Bell, taking measurements for senior caps and gowns, were constantly harassed by certain of the feminine graduates who insisted on saving:
"I'll bring that measurement tomorrow."
Oh well, "Tad" and "Arnie" are both mighty husky football men, so we can hardly blame the girls for not wanting to be even just nearly embraced by such strong arms as these men no doubt possess.
Dean Blackmar found that his class in Sociology had walked out before his arrival in the class room one morning this week. In order to get even, he asked the students to recollection himself some day next week, and let the students worry about not having a smiling professor to conduct the recitation. Much regret was expressed by member of the class when he heard about this plan of the "beam."
"Here goes another marry to the steak," said a bright young stude, as he entered o of the Hill restaurants.
